Wheel fitment

[Leeg]

hi, I'll try not to confuse you. Ha. Because I am very confused ( but that's easy done)  )
I'm looking at a set of wheels this is my fitment and car they are on, can I get fitting kit to have them fit mine.

If I'm correct my fitment
PCD 5x120
CENTRE BORE 72.5
OFFSET 42
BOLT 14x1.25

Car they are currently on
PCD 5x120
CENTRE BORE 74.1
OFFSET 48
BOLT 14x1.25

Am I correct in thinking I might just need spigot rings and wheel bolts. Is the offset ok.

Sorry but I really don't understand wheel figments,  ::)

hi are they staggered or all 4 the same ? have you got a picture of the wheels ?

[Leeg]

Hi, pretty sure they are staggered, front 9" rear 10.5"  they are ace ex20,


They were on a e70, I've looked on lk performance and it states they fit but I think that's with fitting kit. I've read about offset may be wrong if direct wheels from e70, but as there aftermarket was hoping just need spigots and bolts.

All you need are the spigot rings to decrease bore size from E70 fitment to E53.

They are touch higher offset but not too much of an issue but then they are wider.

Still should be fine tbh as I was running the Alpina 21's on my 4.8 and they were 102 wide front and 11.5" wide rears.

To get an idea of where the alloy will sit in line with your current alloys then try Will They Fit and enter the current and new alloys sizes.

just check that they haven't been repaired as a lot of none genuine BMW wheels are sometimes softer with a lower kg weight loading , if they are 2nd hand get them on a balancer before you buy them !

Took the plunge and bought them, will have fine tooth comb look over them tomorow, had look at sellers but can't properly inspect them on someone else's property, even tho I should, fitted the rears wile I was there just so can check offset, ( looks good not pretruding wheel arch) 4 fantastic 285/35/22 proxes, wheels look as new, seller said only had them on car for 4 months then sold the car, no reason to doubt him but can you really trust anyone these days, (was taking a chance buying used in the first place)

Ordered set bolts and spigots, fingers crossed will will all fit ok.

[Raj]

Congrats on the purchase but you didn't really need new bolts as the taper should be th same and the bolt sizes are the same too.

[Leeg]

Hi Raj, the rear bolts fitted ok although don't look the best, but the bolt heads on the fronts are slightly to big so just ordered a set of hex bolts with the same size thread and thread depth,

Sid, going to have good look over them today, (to late I no as I've  allready purchased) tyres on my genuine wheels have worn on front outer edge so going to book hunter alignment and ask them to balance wheels wile I'm there.
